Re: [h-cost] Organizing Hanging Bag System?
May I suggest clear book bags already with a handle. Doing a search using the terms "library book bags clear hanger" I found a few different companies with bags that may work for what you need. I know when I get the funds for them, that is my plan.

The kind of shoe bags that hang on the back of the door work well for storing notions and such. Try to find one with clear plastic pockets.

Re: [h-cost] Organizing Hanging Bag System?
Michael, Your best bet would be to sew for it. Buy clear tablecloth plastic, make up your bags with tops in the shape of the hangers you plan to use, and bind the seams with cotton twill. Use an overlapped vertical opening, with perhaps some stitch-down area at the bottom so loose things won't fall out. (Imagine the shape of a short garment bag here). They'd last longer, be heavier, and be specific to the size/ shape you want. And they're awfully quick to whomp out on your machine. == Marjorie Wilser =:=:=:Three Toad Press:=:=:= "Learn to laugh at yourself and you will never lack for amusement." --MW http://3toad.blogspot.com/ On Nov 15, 2011, at 11:18 AM, michaeljdeib...@gmail.com wrote: As always seems to happen, my sewing area and supplies have exploded and then forced back into various places thus scattering pieces and supplies for various projects.

Re: [h-cost] Organizing Hanging Bag System?
A friend puts all her projects in large zip-closure plastic bags. Hefty makes a 2.5 gal one, although there is no way to easily hang one without making a hole in the bag. Ziploc makes what they call "Big Bags" in three sizes, all of which have handles which could be used to hang the bag. The smallest size is 3 gallons, then they have a 10-gal and a 20-gal. I've started doing the same thing with my projects. You can fit quite a bit in the 20-gal bags--although I haven't yet tried to figure out how much yardage I can fit in one, I suspect I would be able to get my entire coachman's coat project into one.

Re: [h-cost] Organizing Hanging Bag System?
Not sure about the hanging part, but ziplock makes some giant ziplock bags. They are pretty sturdy. I use them to organize projects and they come in 3 different sizes. The large is a good size for needlework projects and the xxl is almost big enough for a comforter. http://www.ziploc.com/Products/Pages/BigBags.aspx Teena From: "michaeljdeib...@gmail.com" To: Historical Costume Sent: Tuesday, November 15, 2011 7:18 PM Subject: [h-cost] Organizing Hanging Bag System? > As always seems to happen, my sewing area and supplies have exploded and then > forced back into various places thus scattering pieces and supplies for > various projects.
